I am ready to donate!

The vehicles received by Teen Challenge are assessed at our shop and disposed of in a variety of ways, including:

AUCTION or SELL PRIVATELY:Our graduates and students do minor mechanical and detailing work on the vehicle to prepare it to be sold at auction.

RECYCLER:Our graduates and students strip the vehicle of valuable parts and the bulk weight is sold to a local recycler.

DEMOLITION DERBY: Our graduates and students get the cars ready for one of our biggest fund raisers, the Demolition Derby, held in the fall.

FLEET:Occasionally we are able to register a donated vehicle and use it at the Teen Challenge centre for student appointments, food donation pickups and various daily errands.

How Does My Vehicle Donation Benefit Teen Challenge?

This program benefits the Teen Challenge charity in a twofold way, by the valuable vocational experience the students gain at the shop with 100% of the proceeds raised by the disposed vehicles going back into our drug treatment and awareness programs.

How Does My Vehicle Donation Benefit Me?

The vehicle is picked up by our driver at no charge to you.

You receive a tax-deductible charitable donation receipt for your vehicle.

You have the satisfaction of knowing that your donation truly helps give someone who was once controlled by drugs and alcohol a chance at a new life, free from addiction.

What will the value of my tax receipt be?

Currently our minimum receipt value is $440. Please call the office for more info.

Will Teen Challenge pick up my vehicle if it's not running?
